Should be one of our biggest away followings in years.

Will be weird playing them in a competitive game.

I'll be there. Will have to drive up early on the Saturday, though, as I've got a Fleetwood Mac concert at the O2 Arena on the Friday night.

It's a tough tie but hopefully we'll be up to the challenge.  :)

Could have been worse. Avoided the top sides in our own division plus Chorley / AFC Fylde /Skelmersdale / Rushall Olympic/Curzon

But a banana skin tie non the less. They looked decent in pre-season and putting 5 past anyone - even if it is droylsden - will give you confidence

heres hoping we can do a professional job like we did at Leek and Shildon last year

United home at 3pm that day, we'll only take what we'd get at home for a corresponding fixture, so I don't think it'll all ticket

Post by: markecky on September 16, 2013, 08:21:33 PM
Could it be all ticket?

I think they got 1300 in for the visit of FC United without tickets, although I was a bit surprised about it not being all ticket as I expected more than that.

What do you reckon we'll take? I reckon about 350.  Think they have a hardcore of about 180-200 that will probably double with local interest I don't think it will exceed that.

I reckon there will be about 800 there.

Do you think that the 450 odd others that regularly go to home games will all not bother to go 10 minutes down the road to watch us in the FA Cup? You may be right at 350, it's just hard to gauge how much people support the club outside of the core 200-300 that will go to all close-ish away games.

Thought FC was all ticket? I seem to recall announcement at the friendly?

Think we will take about 500, so crowd could be towards 1,000 which will be tight

Although I see their capacity is 2,500!!!!

Post by: York Alty on September 16, 2013, 08:43:27 PM
400 sounds too many to me sorry to say.  300-320 I think. Total gate 650-680.

Ah I didn't go to Leek, you could well be right with 500 then.

It was going to be all ticket (you heard right and I heard that as well) but changed it to pay on the gate, although first come first served!  It worked out fine though.

Not sure where you would get 2,500 in there though!

So whats happening tomorrow night

Sinnott at North Ferriby v Workington
Tolson at Frickley v Trafford

Coaches taking the training!

We should be fine at Trafford, the preseason defeat will give our players enough focus to realise they cant just turn up and expect the win. Payne is a decent player, that has returned after his fall out with barrow, and they had one or two tidy lads in preseason, but we didn't play anywhere near to our strengths. We'll take circa 500 and should win.As Jamie pointed out, we had 400 at leek which despite its locality, is an arse to get to

Very good point made by Ballers to me at lunch as well that we know what happens there if we play like strangers, friendly or not, so let's hope that will help us.

We must be at our best but we can do a professional job and progress.

Should be a top day, can't wait to pack under that terrace and not be talking about holidays and other nonsense, we can get it rocking.
